A celestial experience, through and through. Not mind-blowing to the trained listener, but a well put together, fascinating album no matter what. Sun Ra is perhaps the master of cosmic jazz, and this album is one of his most important, at least to me. Could listen to it all day.

A Sun Ra classic, doesn't disappoint. It's a great listen, and one of Sun Ra's most funky works.

By the early 70s, Sun Ra's pallet of sound and afro-futuristic ideas have been fully realized and make a long string of very solid and iconic albums, this one included.

I was at a jazz concert on Tuesday and I started thinking of avant-garde jazz and I looked on my listen later list and saw this. I checked it out and it was pretty good considering it’s only 3 tracks. Each track increases the musicality and the vibe overall.

Not the biggest fan of those cosmic noises (I know, that's the point/concept of the album), but the jazz component itself is amazing
